I believe that every part of the app works except the remote start option on a manual transmission car

I think it's not only a liability issue for a manual trans car to have remote start, it's also a cost and complexity issue. The interlocks involved to keep it from starting while in gear, plus making sure the park brake was on and bypassing the clutch safety switch. Then you have those customers that wouldn't understand why their car won't remote start sometimes. Heck you have a bunch of people too lazy to read the owner's manual to figure out how to operate simple things, like the heated seats. Can you imagine how hard it would be for them to figure out how to operate a manual trans remote start?

Totally understand......I figured that it might not start the manual trans, but figured I'd get the right answer on this board. Thanks guys! Still, without the autostart, it's a pretty cool app! |
